had a email from rpra they are sending me application pack & details of clubs,fed in my area

i live in blackpool thanx for the advice

unfortunatley we have no control of the weather & sometimes the weather is lovely when we start racing some good points already mentioned hours of day light & not for getting birds droping into the moult even the ones that have been on darkness

i am genuine & interested in distance only its going about finding someone to do that

ask me before booking hotels will tell ya if there nice if not stayed there b4

anymore advice to give? open to ideas

yeah jimmy lots of drinking maybe lol well rose im only here down south for 3more days so when did you have in mind!!

is there anyone from the north west members on here? and which distance club is the best to join also near blackpool & any pigeon clubs in or around blackpool to race at club level

here here

how about building me a loft first!! saves buying one from the show!!

may of stopped racing but it never ends now planing for next year i cant wait my first seasn on my own!! just need some pigeons!!

yeah!!! would be great could do with some help decorating!!

i will i live there

just been looking at the national club website very interesting how many other distance clubs are they & which are the best & what are the diference between them

let me know how much & any other details

yeah that im aware rose thanks for your advive i will most deffo have a look also swilcox looks to have some cracking birds for sale too

have you got a contact number or could contact him for me

as im moving to blackpool i dont know anyone in that area & in the area where my dad is theres no one realy competes in distance raceing at national level & i dont think anyone would part with pigeons if i were competeing against them do you. Ive been going through some old copys of the homing world doing some research & looking at race results & adverts does anyone know the following Dale newcombe (Kardale lofts) W & G Flockhart J Proctor

thankyou so far for your ideas

have they gone

Im setting up on my own in blackpool,my dads had pigeons for many years & been very sucessfull but only has sprint pigeons with the odd bird doing well over the channel,as i work in london im only able to race mid to long distance. I intend to self train everytime i go down the m6 to work this way keeps them fit & suppose could call it self purpose races this way they get the some miles under there belt before entering them in a channel race. Can anyone please give me any advice on which strains to go for as there are so many advertisements out there & dont want to be ripped off & dont have that much space for unproven birds,has anyone got or tried Ebony x Aarden or any other breeds from Louella & what was the outcome. I would & probably will join a local flying club along with a national club and send when ever possible as i love the sport so much & any advive will be well apreciated however small im in the process of completeting on my house next month & loft to put in early january & cant wait to have my own birds even though its gonna be 2008 before i can enter a channel race,but intend to race yb next year many thanks for stoping to read this & thankyou for any advice you may give.

cheers lads for the info
